2. Bisection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

   Usually it involves a bisecting line, also called a bisector. The most often considered types of bisectors are the segment bisector, a line that passes through the midpoint of a given segment, and the angle bisector, a line that passes through the apex of an angle (that divides it into two equal angles).

3. Midpoint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint

   Given two points of interest, finding the midpoint of the line segment they determine can be accomplished by a compass and straightedge construction.The midpoint of a line segment, embedded in a plane, can be located by first constructing a lens using circular arcs of equal (and large enough) radii centered at the two endpoints, then connecting the cusps of the lens (the two points where the ...

4. Median (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_(geometry)

   The triangle medians and the centroid.. In geometry, a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side, thus bisecting that side. . Every triangle has exactly three medians, one from each vertex, and they all intersect at the triangle's cent

5. Elementary mathematics - Wikipedia

   Two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other. [8] More formally, two sets of points are called congruent if, and only if, one can be transformed into the other by an isometry , i.e., a combination of rigid motions , namely a translation , a ...

7. Golden triangle (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_triangle_(mathematics)

   By bisecting one of the base angles, a new point is created that in turn, makes another golden triangle. [4] The bisection process can be continued indefinitely, creating an infinite number of golden triangles. A logarithmic spiral can be drawn through the vertices. This spiral is also known as an equiangular spiral, a term coined by René ...

9. Rhombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

   The figure formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a rhombus is a rectangle, and vice versa. Cartesian equation The sides of a rhombus centered at the origin, with diagonals each falling on an axis, consist of all points ( x, y ) satisfying
